Summary
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced that LendingTree (NASDAQ: TREE), the nation’s leading online marketplace that connects consumers with a range of financial services, has standardized on Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform) in its new Charlotte, North Carolina headquarters and across its branch offices, to enable a mobile-first work environment and elevated user experiences for its employees. It will also allow employees to collaborate via any of the wide variety of UC apps in use at LendingTree or those used by partners and customers including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx, and AWS’ Chime. Mike Musselwhite, CISM, CISSP and Senior Network Engineer for LendingTree, noted, “It’s important for us to be as flexible as possible, ensuring that everyone who comes into our offices can leverage the technology we have, but in a secure way that maximizes control. Central allows us to maximize network capabilities while minimizing costs to the business.” Both Taylor and Musselwhite have been impressed with the “flawless performance” of the Aruba wireless, the robustness of the CX Series switching platform, and the capabilities afforded by NetEdit, Aruba’s switch configuration software, which allows the IT team to drive more consistency across their configurations, reduce human error, and proactively address any network issues that arise. Taylor remarked that the Aruba network will allow LendingTree to be flexible, maintaining their acquired companies’ policies and procedures, while integrating and ensuring compliance with corporate processes.
